In a special gazette notice, acting Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i stated the declaration of Tuesday as a public holiday was in accordance with the stipulations of section 12 of the Assumption of office of the President Act 2012.
“It is notified for the general information of the public that in accordance to the provisions of section 12 (3) of the Assumption of the office of the President Act 2012, Tuesday the 28th November 2017 shall be a public holiday,” he stated.
